For the past year, five University of Washington students have teamed together to bring a slice of forest back to life as part of a capstone project. The students — three from UW Bothell and two from Seattle — helped transform a half-acre of North Creek Forest from a neglected eyesore to a haven teeming with life.

The University of Washington Bothell turns Earth Day into a week-long celebration. In coordination with Cascadia College, students, faculty, staff and local businesses will come together through a variety of activities and events to learn what it means to be green.

Friends of North Creek Forest is now temporarily based in Husky Hall. This enables joint programming with the organization and direct access for students in community-based learning and research projects. The partnership also helps improve the environment and preserve a piece of the wild inside the city of Bothell.

In his new book, “Selling the Serengeti,” University of Washington Bothell Associate Professor Benjamin Gardner studies the influence of safari tourism – ecotourism or big-game hunting -- on land rights, market forces and the Maasai culture in Tanzania.
